This is false. You can prompt it to only make changes that will have a material effect on the performance. You can create performance tests and have it run the test after every change and if nothing changes then back it out.

You're not thinking creatively enough about how to use AI to your advantage.

Nobody was talking about performance. There's too much handwaving in your comment to really go further.
